SMARTUP

The main objective is to allow them to reach innovative contents and methods and share knowledge and know how - but also tricks and tips - about the challenging topic "how do I create a successful entrepreneurial venture?", which includes how to cope with issues such as pitch, business plan, procedures & law, market, investors, funds, stress. These issues will be addressed by a transnational community animated by students, teachers, mentors, entrepreneurs and investors.

The project aims to develop innovative Startup Master & Advanced Reflective Tools through cooperation, based on the idea that students need entrepreneurial competences to succeed: both hard (about management and innovation) and soft and transversal (incl. those for self-awareness and resilience).

The main project goals are:

• to create a synergic innovative learning pathway – the Master programme – that will combine both traditional and new contents with new teaching tools, serious game, webinars, mobile apps, with a particular focus on mentoring and coaching through an integrated approach
• to stimulate the entrepreneurship potential of EU students and talented youth in general, and to guide them through a pragmatical learning path
• to realize one of the objectives of Bologna Process through quality assurance and the accreditation (ECTS) of the pathway
• to build a European community of students, start-uppers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and business angels where participants can share their experience. "
